It doesn't look like 100 yards in the video to me but I could be wrong. It's hard to tell but I would say it wasn't that far. Of course there is no way to prove it.
Humans are, for the most part, horrible at judging distances with the naked eye, especially without much for size references like the video.

Either way you look at it, its an unethical shot to take but it was one heckuva a goodshot though.

Looks more like 50 yards to me. For MuleDeer that's probably not uncommon.If the wind was at his back he may have been ok. With a crosswind or head onhe shouldn't have shot.

Regardless of whether it was 103yds, it was obviously out at least 50-60 or more yds.. It took a bit of time for the arrow to hit after the shot, surely an unethical shot, regardless of whether or not he hit it perfect and it died quickly, the odds are, even with the best bow shooter, that a bad shot is likely! He had no respect for the game that we true hunters put our hard earned money into managing and is glorifying it by putting it on video. Do you really think he would show the video if he had say hit the buck in the rump and it running of to never be found, maybe dying of a slow death? I think not, so do you think he's done it? Moderators should keep this here, but as an example of the type of "POO" that the ANTI's use against us to the public! I do not give him any credit for the shot, at a target, ok, but not that fine muley buck! A discrace!

Thats the evils that comes with modern technology - you take the good with the bad.

Well said, very good point. The byproducts(sp) of techonology aren't always good.

The whole point of bowhunting is to get as close as possible to the quary. I understand with mule deer that taking a long shot is more than common but over a 100 yards is just stupid and unethical in my book.

We "true hunters" just love the phrase.

Certainly he wouldn't have shown a video with a poor hit, but that doesn't mean he didn't wound half a dozen deer trying to shoot that clip either. That is why EDITTING is so important in their business.

I don't see that in the rules and regulations anywhere ?
